Stroke!" which sent the boat boiling through the water as though propelled by a gasoline engine. The Olympia's men were holding their own if not breaking a record. "Hold her steady. Keep the stroke. We won't try to set the Thames afire not YET," were the coach's significant words from his launch.
The whistle between coach's lips sounded three prolonged blasts, and the young players, flushed, perspiring -aching a bit, too -came off the field. Togs were laid aside and some time was spent under the shower baths and in toweling. Only a small part of the late crowd of watchers remained at the athletic field. But the kicker and his companion were among those who stayed.
But rivalry was so keen for places, and the coach's choice so deep a mystery, that the contestants played under too great a tension, and school-boys could have done better. It was on the first of April that Arthurs took Ken up into College Hall to get permission for him to present himself to the different professors for the early examinations.
"I think I'll die if you don't let me," he said, and his face wore such a look of earnestness and appeal that the coach's grim expression relaxed a little. "Don't stop to explain why you 're late I hope you have a good excuse but run out there and tell Campbell to come in." Teeny-bits raced out on the field as if he had been shot from a cannon.
Neil lost it the first time it came into his hands. "Who dropped that ball?" thundered Mills, striding into the back-field, pushing players left and right. "I did," answered Neil, striving to meet the coach's flashing eyes and failing miserably. "You did? Well, do it just once more, Fletcher, and you'll go off! And you'll find it hard work getting back again, too. Bear that in mind, please."
They were resolved to justify the coach's confidence in them, and to be able to give him an accurate line of "dope" when they returned to their Alma Mater. The game was fast and furious, but at the end of the first half the "Maroons" were leading by one touchdown. Excitement ran high at the opening of the second half, and a battle royal began.
I must tell them and take my medicine." "Sure. It's a matter of principle," replied Reddy, in his soft, slow voice. His keen eyes left Ken's pale face and met the coach's. "Worry, I'll take Peg up to see the athletic faculty. I know Andrews, the president, and he's the one to hear Peg's story." Worry groaned and sank into a chair crushed and beaten. Then he swore, something unusual in him.
As Innis nodded, signifying that it did, Deacon saw the coach's eyes turn to Doane, who sat at stroke of the varsity. "Now," muttered the stroke of the second varsity, his eyes gleaming, "we'll hear something." "Doane, is there anything the trouble with you? You're feeling well, aren't you?" "Yes sir. Sure!" The boy flushed.
Creed and went out to take some ayre, as far as Chelsey and further, I lighting there and letting them go on with the coach while I went to the church expecting to see the young ladies of the school, Ashwell desiring me, but I could not get in far enough, and so came out and at the coach's coming back went in again and so back to Westminster, and led my wife and her to Captain Ferrers, and I to my Lord Sandwich, and with him talking a good while; I find the Court would have this Indulgence go on, but the Parliament are against it.
"The public in general do pretty well by buying tickets rather liberally to our games. It's the expenses that are the great trouble. You see, Prescott, instead of maintaining one team, we really have to support two, for the subs are necessary in order to give us practice. Then the coach's expenses are heavy.
